Flavor Text

The user drags the foe under the water with it, holding it down until the next turn. The target cannot attack while underwater.

Move Description

The user sucks or drags the target down into the water and holds it there, only allowing it to float back to the surface after it takes damage from the crushing water pressure.

Effect

User drags the target deep underwater for one turn and inflicts damage, during which no moves will hit either Pokémon and neither can act. On the following turn, the user allows the target to resurface, ending the effect.

If the target is Water type, this move will function as normal but inflict no damage.

Shadow Dart, Surf and Whirlpool can hit both the user and the target during this effect, and the latter two will have doubled power if appropriate.
